Chronic Disease Management Clinics
All recent research has shown that conditions that are longstanding and require regular monitoring are best looked after in a clinic setting. The clinics we run are designed to ensure that we provide then most appropriate and up to date care and that you are reviewed regularly.
Patients suffering from Heart Disease/Stroke, Diabetes, Asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (Chronic Bronchitis) and Hypertension will be called automatically for a review. This letter will advise when an appointment is due to be made and what other action may be required before the date of the appointment. An explanatory leaflet will also be posted out that will give further information. All clinics take place at our main surgery in Selby.
Your time at the clinic is to monitor a specific condition only and we ask that you make a separate appointment for any other medical conditions you may have.
If you are unsure about whether you should be seen in a clinic our receptionists will help you make the right appointment.
